Vacation Reading
I am heading out on vacation for a few weeks and will be taking a break from writing Notes. I plan on reading “A History of France,” as well as finishing up the Brian Potter book “The Origins of Efficiency.”
A few years ago I read “To the Digital Age,” which provides an amazing account of the research and development of the transistor. The author covers the entire history from Bell Labs transistors to the early 1970s microchips. Lots of primary research included. It seems that many of these labs have deep and rich archives.
If you’re interested in technology and want to see a foundational technology emerge from the labs “To The Digital Age” is a great read.
Enjoy!
